[QUOTE="snoopy snoopy dog dog, post: 443773, member: 13611"] It was a poor enough game desite the four excellent tries scored. I couldn't care less about who played well for the Dragons but Ellis (I think) looked decent. For Leinster, there's still plenty of work to do but it was a big step up from last week. Isa Nacewa took a lot of pressure off Ian Madigan by stepping in as first receiver frequently. Consequently Madigan had his best game in a Leinster shirt and capped his performance with an excellent individual try. Fionn Carr was also very lively (he was my MotM) and deservedly scored at the death after great work from Auva'a. Positives for Leinster were first and foremost the win. Darren Hudson made his debut and the likes of Jack McGrath, Jack O'Connell, Mark Flanagan, Brendan Macken, Dave Kearney, Ian Madigan and John Cooney got valuable game time while Damian Browne, Jamie Hagan, Fionn Carr and Cillian Willis are now further bedded into the setup. Carr, Madigan, Willis and Ryan were Leinster's best players IMO. The main negatives were the serious looking injury to Mat Berquist and the forwards didn't dominate proceedings. [/QUOTE]
